Can I ask Moon sth?

the thread entitles advanced English conversations, Did you make up the conversations your self, or have you taken them from an English language learning book?

looking forward to hearing back from ya

[M.o_o.N]

Alsalam alykum sister , Here is Miss. Moon :)

About the topic , its advanced because these conversations are meant to be for University students not to be used in schools . As you know school conversations easier and shorter than those above . I copied some from ESL advanced level dialogues. the others are done by me and other members here in previous topics I just copied them here.

[Petunia]

may Allah reward you dear moon

thanks honey soooo much^^



sorry for the delay



ok listen to this audio


it's for an advanced level about how can they express their ideas by using some phrase



Commenting

Click for Audio

If you would like to make a comment or insert a remark in an ongoing conversation, it

is polite to acknowledge what someone has just said before stating your own ideas.

Some phrases

That's interesting. I think that...

Interesting point. I would add...

Hmmm. I hadn't thought of that before.

Questions can also be a useful way of bringing new ideas into a conversation:

What do you think about . . .

Have you considered . . .

What about . . .

Sometimes a more direct approach is appropriate:

Can I add something here?

(Do you) mind if I interject something here?

[Petunia]

- Have you been watching the news about the oil spill off the American coast?
- Oh, yes, it’s absolutely heartbreaking, isn’t it? It was bad enough to hear there had been an explosion and that eleven people had lost their lives, but the oil slick that’s heading for the Louisiana coastline is going to devastate the wildlife of the area and no doubt ruin the livelihoods of so many people, from fishermen to – well, basically anyone who makes their living from the sea or from tourism along that stretch of coast.
- Oh, I wouldn’t want to be in their shoes! Imagine being lucky enough to live in such a beautiful area, only to have it destroyed, maybe for years to come. I mean, I know they are making some kind of device to contain the slick, and employing all kinds of preventative measures to limit the scale of the damage, but it’s kind of hard to see how any of it could really make such a difference. I would have thought that once the oil had leaked into the sea, no amount of damage limitation could really contain it.

.
Situation: Louise and Danny talk about the recent explosion which destroyed an oil rig and caused a massive oil slick off the coast of America.
Style: General / Informal
.
Functions:
1. Introducing a subject: Have you been watching the news about the oil spill off the American coast? (note: please copy the tone and emphasis carefully here.)

3. Expressing pity for someone who is in a difficult situation: Oh, I wouldn’t want to be in their shoes! (note: please copy the tone and emphasis carefully here.)
4. Using a positive idea to emphasize a negative one: Imagine being lucky enough to live in such a beautiful area, only to have it destroyed, maybe for years to come. (note: please copy the tone and emphasis carefully here.)
5. Expressing a tentative opinion: I would have thought that once the oil had leaked into the sea, no amount of damage limitation could really contain it. (note: please copy the tone and emphasis carefully here.)
.

2. off the American coast = in the sea but close to the American coast
3. it’s absolutely heartbreaking (idiom) = it is extremely sad
4. It was bad enough to hear = It was enough bad news to hear that

16. it’s kind of hard to see how any of it could really make such a difference = it’s difficult to imagine how it is going to work
17. I would have thought that... = my view, though I’m not an expert in these matters, is that... (more formal)
18. leaked into the sea = escaped and went into the sea (liquid)
19. damage limitation = measures to contain the amount of damage
20. contain it = stop it / hold it back (phrasal verb)

- Isn’t your presentation sometime this week?

- Yes, it is. To be honest I’ve got butterflies in my stomach already, because our CEO will be there and an awful lot hangs on me getting it right on the day. If I do, we could dramatically increase our sales to the client I’m presenting to.

- Well, I really wish you luck with it! As long as you make sure you know your subject inside out and you structure the presentation well, I’m sure you’ll be fine.
